I'm a youth services librarian at a medium-sized library in the thumb of Michigan. This is a blog to explore what goes on here as I navigate children and adults.

And I will fly...

A woman came in and wanted to reorder the movie "Wicked" since the lending library had cancelled the loan. We got talking as I looked up her account, and it turns out, she thought it was about the musical 'Wicked'. It wasn't - it was a horror movie starring Julia Styles. Luckily for her, I'm a Broadway lover, so right from the get-go, I knew it wasn't the musical like she wanted. There's no movie on it yet, unlike Sweeney Todd, Phantom of the Opera, Rent and soon to be Les Miserable, unfortunately. But I was able to order her a Broadway movie with scenes from it.
